What it takes to make your marriage work

"I love how Kevin takes 'happily ever after' out of movies and fairy tales and puts it back on my wife and me. A good marriage isn't fate, it's not always romantic, and it doesn't come with a soundtrack... but anyone can have it. Reading this book will help you get there!"

—Rossi Morreale, TV personality

"Marriage is hard. Few do it well, and those who succeed need to have a ton of grace and a lot of wisdom. Kevin Thompson has modeled well what it means to have a marriage grounded in both wisdom and grace. This book is going to help a whole lot of marriages. Read it, practice it, and give it away!"

—Brandon Cox, pastor at Grace Hills Church; editor of Pastors.com

"Kevin Thompson balances tried-and-true principles with a fresh perspective on the three main roles we have as spouses. Whether you're looking to strengthen or rescue your marriage, this book can help you determine where and how to make concrete improvements. Simple to read yet profound with insight, Friends, Partners, and Lovers is a book I'd encourage all married couples to pick up!"

"Kevin's book provides clear (and more importantly, doable) instruction for not only saving a broken marriage but also continuing to nurture a relationship that is healthy and happy. In a world where we watch people meet, fight, and break up via social media, his grounded advice is refreshing. I would absolutely and enthusiastically recommend Friends, Partners, and Lovers to my audience."

Great marriages don't just happen — they're made, intentionally, day by day.

The number one cause of divorce isn’t adultery or finances or disagreements. It’s apathy—a lack of intentional emotional, physical, and mental investment in the relationship. It’s forgetting that as a husband or wife you have three distinct roles: friend, partner and lover.

With engaging stories and clear, simple language, pastor Kevin A. Thompson shows how to live out those roles. He helps you and your spouse grow your friendship, be supportive partners through the good times and the bad, and develop a healthy and satisfying sex life.

Whether you are star-eyed in love or struggling to make it work, this book will show you how to keep your marriage healthy, strong, and fulfilling.
